At the Red Metals Summit, we will take a deeper dive into the key drivers of business in our industry and give you the knowledge you need to help you forecast for 2023. While all CBSCA events have lots of opportunity for networking, the Red Metals Summit focuses on excellent speakers and important discussions with key players in the copper and brass supply chain. During this two-day event, we will:
- Listen to Chief Economist Robert Fry’s outlook for the global economy and then follow that up with an attendee roundtable during which we will discuss each of our outlook for next year.
- Learn from Adam Estelle, vice president at the Copper Development Association, who will preview sustainability trends and impacts on copper.
-
We’ll also hear from John Gross, metals industry veteran and publisher of The Copper Journal, where we will gain insights into the copper market. We’ll follow these up with a second attendee roundtable to discuss trends in our businesses and to learn from each other how we are navigating these.
- Come to day one ready to share your market outlook with your colleagues, and come to day two ready to ask questions to better prepare your companies for the future.
Did I mention that Boston is beautiful in the fall? I'll see you all in Boston, MA.
